Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquid but not browned.
Step 2
Stir in the chicken broth, ensuring that the two are well combined.
Step 3
Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir thoroughly to incorporate the dry ingredients into the liquid.
Step 4
Add the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well to ensure all flavors blend together.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking or burning.
Step 6
Remove the marinade from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids, ensuring that only smooth liquid remains.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the marinade to a flavor injector syringe. Inject the marinade into the thickest parts of the turkey (such as the breasts and thighs) before frying. Make sure to distribute the marinade evenly for consistent flavor throughout the meat.
